Is he really that close to Benitez these days? Confidants don't blab everything to the media and stay confidants.

Their fans are such a witty bunch of whelk sellers. 'HOOF!' non-stop. They're hilarious. :wallbutt:

Too right! I've never enjoyed football on TV less than I do now. Keyes always tries to start a rotation debate, then he whines about Gerrard not being happy, then the match stats and Gray does his 'If ah'm being honest' crap, then Jeff Shreeves tries to get our players to slag off Rafa after the match. The whole thing is a huge bore.

Interesting show. Jason is such a Red you can forgive his stupidity. Aldo is great. Parry mentioned that, when Rafa arrived, the first thing he had to tell him was: 'The captain probably wants to leave' - so Chelski had tapped him up even earlier than it was suggested at the time.

I met him a few years ago to interview him, and he was great. Really! And he swore, like his brother, that he was a Red. But I saw him today on TV and felt like weeping - what the feck has happened to his hair?? Has he bought a wig modelled on Ken Dodd????? Grotesque.

I thought Johnny Vegas WAS Dunk. In a gentleman's abdominal support.

I truly can't remember such a shamelessly biased performance by a ref. He was such a homer he should have been in The Simpsons. He seemed to be enjoying doing it. I thought Rafa did well not to say much about him afterwards. Torres will probably be limping tomorrow after that sustained attack on his ankles.

Yes, and Ged arrived in 1998.

Didn't we win the League cup three years before???

I never thought I'd like anything Deadly Doug did, but that cheerful 'Yeah, whatever, feck off!' handshake was hilarious!

True! :smile:

Ha! That's so true! Poor old Sammy. He seems bewitched by Fat Sam. I mean, he was standing in his technical area yesterday, still with his ludicrous radio microphone strapped round his face, when his assistants were within touching distance! It's just not him at all.

Did you ever see Peter Sellers in Being There? Abramovich, with that stupid vacant look, seems more and more like him: Abramovich: Chauncy:

He might well help a team get promoted to the Premiership. But, as you say, he's not equipped at this stage in his career to influence a relegation scrap.

Didn't he leave us saying he wanted to play more games under an English manager? Good decision, Dan.

It's a non-story desperately hyped up to seem noteworthy by a bored London hack. Look at the actual quote: "We don't analyse each match. Yossi has patience and motivation and he will get his chance. When you are taking a decision to move to Liverpool, you are prepared for all possibilities and Yossi decided to follow his heart. The target was to try and integrate in the team and I'm sure he will play a lot. Naturally, Yossi wants to be in the squad and knows he has a lot of work to do but if he won't play for a long period we will think again." Unnecessary, yes, but hardly sensational.

This is the thrice-capped player who couldn't even be arsed to move to where his club was actually based? Pathetic.

As Barry Davies would have shrieked: 'Look at his face! Just LOOK at his FACE!!!!' A candle? Fork handles more like. He looked like he was auditioning to become a tragic superhero for Marvel comics.

Brilliant!

Tyler and Gray were too busy waffling to comment at the time, but Essien also clearly raised both hands and put them near Styles's neck at one stage, and you could read Styles shouting, 'Take your hands off!' Now, that's 99% certain to get you sent off in a European game, but Styles let him walk away! Incredible. I think he was so confused as to how much he'd messed up he was afraid of doing anything else.

Panorama was made by the Current Affairs department. If these idiots feel the need to boycott people then boycott the Current Affairs department, not the Sports department. MOTD has nothing to do with it. It just demonstrates how stupid Allardyce and Co are.

Lest we forget, here's what football genius Martin said about us last year... Tottenham visit Anfield for a Premiership fixture given added spice by the comments of Spurs manager Martin Jol yesterday. Jol was dismissive of the rebuilding job carried out by Benitez on Merseyside and also questioned the worthiness of this week's big signing Daniel Agger. Jol said: "People say Liverpool had slipped in the past few years, but they were always in the top four or five. Tottenham were not, and yet now we are fourth in the table, so maybe we have done a better job than Liverpool." Regarding Agger, whom Liverpool have bought from Brondby to supplement the central defensive talents of Jamie Carragher and Sami Hyypia, Jol was also critical. "You can see they are in another bracket when they can pay six or seven million for a full-back like Daniel Agger. That is what he is, because he plays on the right side of defence. If they think he is a centre-back then I hope that's where they play him'.

Nah, they bought a very UNcertain Boumsong, to play alongside a thoroughly confused Titus Bramble.

Absurd stuff: him and his 'JT' arse-licking callers are basically saying 'he shouldn't play but he should be available'. Crap!

Durham always sounds like someone who hasn't taken a crap for about five years. Can't bear the buffoon.
